Kyo blinked at that, and then shook his head with an exasperated sigh. Well, that was like Reno, wasn’t it. “You… sap,” he grumbled, but obviously touched that Reno would go through such lengths for him. Even if it did involve forcing his cousin to look for him. He still wasn’t fond of the idea of Yuki helping Reno track him down. Not that he blamed Reno for it at all; he just didn’t like Yuki getting involved in his life. (Even if he was, obviously.)

Yes, he was relieved that Yuki had helped Reno, but… Ugh, this wasn’t going to make much sense to Reno unless he went into detail. And, well… the Turk knew how much Kyo loved talking about his past. Though he started a little when Reno suddenly seemed to make a connection. And started protesting? An orange brow went up and he peered at his boyfriend for several seconds. He got that Crystallis wasn’t like Atia (assumed he got it). But after a few seconds, his brain put it together and he recoiled instantly.

“NO!” Kyo made a face, lifting his own hands to wave at the idea. “Hell, no I wasn’t—I didn’t think that!” Ew gross, now he was thinking that and it made his stomach twist. “Honestly, Reno, I didn’t think that at all!” He guessed about Johnny but didn’t think Reno acted like he did in Atia when he wasn’t in Atia.

With a frustrated sigh, he rubbed at his head again. “No it… It just… Tsk, Yuki’s always been better than me, more liked, the “perfect” one in the family. Even if someone meets me first, if they meet Yuki, it… They just go to him, okay?!” Even as he said it, he felt guilty, stupid. Because he knew Reno better than that. Knew he didn’t have to doubt him. And yet… it was hard to shake what he just returned from again.

“Sorry… I just…” Don’t want you to leave me.
